The best Stats professor at UCLA.

Legend. Best Professor I had so far.

Miles is great! You learn how to use and implement a lot of machine learning algorithms.
Grading is as follows:
6 HW's each worth 6%: 36%
2 Midterms each worth 15%: 30%
Attendance Quiz (can watch video too): 10%
Campuswire 4%
Final: 20%

The HWs are not too difficult, as he provides example code that is similar to HW assignments for most of the problems.

The midterms and final are relatively easy, with the conceptual questions being the hardest part, though you can completely bomb that part of them and still easily get an A.

Overall, a great class.

My favorite class I've ever taken. He explains statistics in a very clear manner. I did not have to consult my textbook at all for this course - everything I learned from his lecturing made sense. I definitely hope to have him as a professor again if I take statistics courses in the future.

Professor Chen is definitely a great professor for being his first year lecturing. He is very clear and explains the material easy enough for a child to understand. he does not over complicate things. He does have somewhat weekly quizzes but they are simple and mathematically based. His test are more of a theoretical and conceptual understanding o the material, but again simple. He is funny and approachable. Definitely a recommended professor for the oh so dreaded statistics class of every college student ever. If you have to take statistics and really don't want to, take it with him, promise he'll make it simple. Just don't email him, he will not reply until 2 weeks later.

Great Professor! Interesting class as well, with a focus on coding in R.
